encoding/converting videos for iPod

Postby Inuyasha the 3rd » Sat Apr 28, 2007 6:37 pm

Okay, so I just got my new iPod. Obviously, its an iPod video. I'd like to start converting my AMV's to an iPod compatible format. I know the codec is h.264, but apparently I heard from my friend it has to be in a small resolution (can't remember the resolution) and the framerate has to be in 29.97. Now how does one go converting a video file that is in 23.976FPS or 24FPS to that framerate?

Thanks in advance

You need to encode your video to 320x240 H.2.64 (768 kbps bitrate) and the audio to AAC 48 Khz audio (2.5 mbps bitrate).

I assume you're using Windows. See this guide on converting video for the iPod.
